Session Description
The digital transformation of the world is well underway. Today’s emerging technologies will be tomorrow’s table stakes, and organizations that become early adopters will be set up for future success. Navigating the array of emerging technologies into a coherent roadmap that meets today’s enterprise needs with an eye towards the horizon is the difficult challenge of every CIO office.
The CIO Summit at MWC Las Vegas is designed to aid the CIO office in this challenge. This program, more than 5G and more than mobility, is designed to equip enterprise CIOs to fully engage in the new way of doing business: always on, data rich and intelligent.
9:00am to 10:00am - Morning Reception
Abstract: For 40+ years, corporate networks have become faster, more resilient, and less expensive. However, the fundamental model of a wide area network (like MPLS or other private networks) complimented by local area networks (like Ethernet or Wifi) hasn’t changed. This fundamental WAN/LAN architecture that a generation of IT and networking professionals have known is about to be disrupted by 5G. Find out how the 5G “flat network” is poised to elevate the experience of end-users, simplify deployment for network managers, and improve security for CISOs.

2:15pm to 2:45pm - Trusting Suppliers: A Critical Element in Today’s Enterprise Transformation
A network with trusted and secure suppliers is a network environment wherein systems, users, and devices are all classified as trustworthy and thus have higher access and resource privilege. In such a network, many operators assume trust for all devices and users, with complete access to all the resources within the network system. It has limited security barriers and access controls, which will lower the overall security of the network system. Given the ever-growing need for cybersecurity safeguards, developing a framework for a trusted partner/supplier program is critical for the 21st century, networked and digital enterprise IT team.
